Airline merger between Continental and United now unlikely

Hot news from our fellow RBI bloggers here at Airline Business today. A possible tie up between Continental, every Houston chemical player's favourite airline, and United Airlines, is probably not going to happen.

"The apparent collapse of a proposed Delta/Northwest airline merger is likely to leave other possible combinations on the drawing table for some time. A possible Continental tie up with United, conceived as a response or domino reaction, is probably not going to happen."
